do you know what bugs me? CSW’s face looks like gay in this drama. he is more masculine in City Hall. mmmmm… maybe his eyebrows were too trimmed… maybe it is because the series portrays im a vain man. anyway i still luv him in TGL. eeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
December 3rd, 2011 at 5:33 pm
this drama is good..but to get my vote was absolutely not!!
For best Korean Drama 2011 .,no doubt i 100% vote for The Princess Man..nice story line.,superb acting.,heart suspended.,incredible Ost.,tears jerking.,Best Ending.,powerful rating.,the most outstanding!!
vote for Best Korean Drama 2011 should goes to:-
1) The Princess Man/ Secret Garden
2) Dream High/ 49 Days
3) My Princess/ City Hunter/ Can you Hear My Heart
